Sometimes, Salma has problems with her "mind demons" (her term for the voices that torment her at times).I wrote this poem a couple of nights after a rather heavy-duty episode.P.S: The next day, she was all giggly...even hugged me without hesitation.--RKJ

I have been told that I have the tools and the talent...it just took years of writing to polish-and-hone my abilities.It's the same for everybody who wants to do well at this craft.Now if only I can get my books on Amazon's Create Space to sell ("Unchain The Night" and "How Does Love Taste?" are my two on that site...as well as the first books I have had published!)...but that will come with time.

Oh, btw--"saint-level" paitence is a great habit for ANY writer to cultivate!Especially when dealing with critics.
